Many of the Rough Rider patterns I own are similar to some of the Case patterns I own. When comparing the quality, fit and finish these knives are a great value. What really makes them great is I…Continue

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on May 21, 2012 at 13:05: I've never had a problem with one of their knives, just wondering.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on May 21, 2012 at 12:16: I'm sure that they'd replace the knife, just not sure if they still carry it in the Bark Pearl.

Comment by Tobias Gibson on May 21, 2012 at 10:21: Robert, my experience has been they will honor their warranty so if the backspring broke, then they will honor it unless it was altered in some way such as file work or such.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on May 21, 2012 at 7:34: JJ. I had a Queen knife back spring brake, they replaced the knife. I wonder what SMKW would do?

Comment by J.J. Smith III on May 21, 2012 at 0:14: Jay,

I've got one of the bark pearl whittlers. Nice scales but one of the back springs broke when setting it up for pics. Bee a couple of years, didn't think they were still in production.

Comment by Billy Oneale on May 20, 2012 at 21:26: I have a couple of Benchmark knives with ceramic blades. I have not used any except for a paring knife I bought for my wife. It worked really good for a while. My wife would wash it in the dishwasher and it developed some small chips in the cutting surface. Debra really liked it. It was a white blade which stains really easy.

Comment by Jay Sack on May 20, 2012 at 7:25: The smoky mountain knife works current catalog (page 42) offers a bark pearl medium stockman for $16.99. The catalog picture is not that clear. Does anyone have pictures of any of the bark pearl series of knives?

Comment by robert benton on May 19, 2012 at 10:52: anyone have any of the RR,s with Bark Pearl scales? I remember seeing them in the SMKW catalog acouple of years ago, are they still being made?

Comment by Tobias Gibson on May 14, 2012 at 13:22: Robert,

Yes th elarge one is 5 inches, closed (9 inches opened) Rough Rider makes a total of five 5 inch toothpicks.

See: http://blindkat.hegewisch.net/RRR/RR-lg-toothpicks.html

L-R RR526 - Sawcut Bone, RR 917- Stoneworx, RR 711 Rifleman, RR1059 - Stroke of Luck, RR 731 Long Rifle.

I also have several other Globals 5 inch toothpicks. Still have dumped $70-100 in a USA made.

Among other Companies making them is Buck's Bill Lowen "I'm Hooked" toothpick, in blue smooth bone with the Bass shield.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on May 14, 2012 at 11:51: Hey, is the large one a 5" toothpick? Miss Jan was looking for a Rough Rider 5" toothpick.
